Admiral Halsey notified me
He had to have a berth or he couldn’t get to sea
I had another look and I had a cup of tea and a butter pie
(The butter wouldn't melt so I put it in the pie)
Refrain:
Hands across the water
Heads across the sky
Hands across the water
Heads across sky
Live a little be a gypsy, get around (get around)
Get your feet up off the ground
Live a little, get around
Live a little be a gypsy, get around (get around)
Get your feet up off the ground
Live a little, get around
